Linearization

Linearized PDF is a version of the PDF format in which the data is held in a special manner to allow content to be fetched only when needed. This means viewing a multipage PDF over a slow connection is more responsive. By default, cpdf does not linearize output files. To make it do so, add the -l option to the command line. For example:

$\begin{framed} \small\verb!cpdf -l in.pdf -o out.pdf! \par \vspace{2.5mm} \noindent Linearize the file \texttt{in.pdf}, writing to \texttt{out.pdf}. \end{framed}$
